The UFC once again has an undisputed lightweight champion. On Saturday, in the main event of UFC 242, lightweight titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted interim champ Dustin Poirier in the third round of their matchup to reclaim the undisputed 155-pound crown. The victory moved Nurmagomedov’s perfect record to 28-0.

In the co-main event, Paul Felder got some payback on Edson Barboza. The first time these two lightweights met, Barboza won the contest by split decision. On Saturday it was Felder who got the split decision nod.

At the top of the preliminary card, Joanne Calderwood scored an upset win over over the surging Andrea Lee. The split-decision victory moved Calderwood up to the No. 3 spot in the women’s flyweight rankings and could set her up for a fight against the 125-pound champion, Valentina Shevchenko.

UFC 242 took place at The Arena at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The main card streamed on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN+, FX and UFC Fight Pass.
